1 Kings 8:53

Context
8:53 After all, 1  you picked them out of all the nations of the earth to be your special possession, 2  just as you, O sovereign Lord, announced through your servant Moses when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt.”

1 Kings 22:6

Context
22:6 So the king of Israel assembled about four hundred prophets and asked them, “Should I attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” 3  They said, “Attack! The sovereign one 4  will hand it over to the king.”

1 tn Or “For.”

2 tn Heb “your inheritance.”

3 tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

4 tn Though Jehoshaphat requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, Yahweh), they stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title אֲדֹנָי (’adonai, “lord; master”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the four hundred are genuine prophets of the Lord.
